Lifetime in S.A. to film women about presidential hopes

Lifetime Networks want to know and aims to find out via a special bus that will be parked near San Antonio’s River Walk from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday to find out.

Lifetime’s “Every Woman Counts” bus tour has chosen the Alamo City for one of its cross-country stops to empower women to voice their views and participate in the political process. One reason for its Texas stops is this statistic, said publicist Stephanie Nordstrom: “Just 52 percent of Texas women voted in the 2004 election.”

At the River Walk stop — specifically Main Plaza, between the River Walk and Flores and Commerce and Dolorosa — women can upload videos to Lifetime’s YouTube Channel (youtube.com/lifetime) and declare what they would do if they were president. They’re also asked to talk more specifically about issues important to them in this election year.

Technicians will be on hand to show women how to make use of the video technology.

Many of the resulting videos — as well as “woman on the street” interviews — will be played on YouTube or everywomancounts08.com. Some will appear later on the Lifetime TV network.
